Yeah or when something has been proven by the scientific method and they want to feel special so they specifically do the opposite of the beneficial thing
Still, that’s pretty impressive. Cats are absolutely incredible animals. I’m thankful the “worst behaved cats” still love me for whatever reason because I’ve been able to see some of the crazy shit they do.
My parents have an entirely blind 18 year old cat. She can navigate the entire house eats fine, plays a bit. Hops up and down furniture, finds the sunbathing spots, uses the litter just fine. You do have to keep an eye out for her if your moving around as she can’t smell fast enough if you step in front of her path.
I’m trying to imagine the world from this cat’s point of view. Relying on smells, sounds, touch and vibration. I bet she can hear and smell small critters just fine, but would she be able to successfully hunt them?
This is true within limits
The fact that you need to tell people not to intentionally give their cat salt water is telling of how far we’ve regressed as a society.
Humans are naturally curious and lean towards the scientific method, that’s why we always need a disclaimer, don’t TRY this, they still will.
“Scientific method”?
Most people’s “method” is YOLO/HMB for lols. Thank goodness cats have nine lives.

HMB? How many bombs?

Well, you know what they say about curiosity and cats…

If the critter is close enough, their whiskers can pick up on vibrations in the air AFAIK, so they could probably still hunt.
She can still hunt rabbits somehow.
Not that they let her. They just discovered this by accident. She’s an indoor cat that roams their high fence backyard when they’re out there.
Advice to live by.
Don’t tell me what to do! /s
